Question

Will Sonos work with google home?

I am thinking about purchasing the new Google home voice recognition product, I understand that Sonos will work with Amazons echo in the near future. Does Sonos have any information regarding google home integration?

    Was given a playbar and echo for Christmas, but I'm a google guy with home and pixel already. Searching web about sonos-google integration and ended up here. Looks like I will be returning the playbar and echo gifts for an audio setup more compatible with my needs. I initially thought about adding a sonos sub purchase to the gift too, so lack of integration just cost sonos 1200+ in sales related to me. I knew it was trouble as soon as I read sonos was the "Apple of audio."

    it is what it is. The gifts you got centered on amazon echo and you want Google. So be it but whyncome on here and complain. The echo and sound bar are going to be supported.

    Did you go on the Amazon echo board and complainthere for Google support too :D

    Sorry I just find it amusing when people come on here to complain that a product doesn't fit their needs Sonos does know they don't fit the needs of every person.

    I've been posting here for years, and depending on the agenda of the poster, I've heard that Sonos is in bed with Apple or Google, Apple Music or Google Play Music, iOS or Android, etc., etc. The fact is, Sonos integrates with any company who wishes to integrate with them. Key word being "wishes".

    And I too find the effort to sign up for a support forum just to say you are returning something to be either childish taunting, or returner's remorse. Either impetus is rather sad.

    It is about time sonos made an announcement about google home, then we could confidently tell people to wait till end of 2017 and that it will follow Echo integration, which iam sure it will, but we can only speculate about what is in the upcoming private beta.

    You keep telling people you are sure it is coming, but you have zero facts or information to back up that opinion. I thought you were going to stop with these misleading posts? The fact is, at this time, there is no reason to believe Sonos will support Google Home, never mind a reason to be "sure it will".

    The Playbar is actually ideal for Google Home integrstion. Just need a ChromeCast in your TV to be able to voicr conttol music and YouTube videos from Google's little "air freshener".

    Thanks Chicks, I'll consider that with my air freshener and you keep rolling with your hockey puck hehe. Not trying to start a ruckus here, but yeah I created an account to voice my opinion about disappointment related to compatibility (see I kind of wanted a playbar wahhh), and that the lack of compatibility does affect product purchasing and retention irl.

    I actually have the air freshener, two hockey pucks and an Echo. Just asked Google to play some vocal jazz to the living room TV, works quite well, and sounds great on the Playbar. I can then group the Sonos Connect, and get even better sound via the big QUAD ESLs, or send the sound anywhere else in the house. So, Google Home isn't fully integrated with Sonos yet, but a ChromeCast bridges the gap for now.
